The ghost bats that were hunting in the sky fluttered their wings and gradually drifted away.

"Let\'s go," Lu Qingshan said softly after confirming the situation.

The members of the Tiger Squad nodded and quickly followed Lu Qingshan out of the small trading post.

The scene they had just witnessed was but a minuscule reflection of the disaster unfolding.

If the cultivators within Zhenjiang City had been willing to protect the civilians, then even without the Zhenjiang military, the Netherworld would never have been able to gather enough essence blood to perform Blood Pool Reincarnation in less than a day.

Zhenjiang City was, after all, a prefectural city of Great Xia, located deep within the territory of the Human Race.

As long as they could delay the Netherworld\'s progress for a little while, there would soon be powerful cultivators of the Human Race receiving the news and coming to the rescue, thus foiling the Netherworld\'s scheme.

But such a simple condition proved to be a mission impossible.

Cultivators were the most selfish of people, sparing no thought for the unrelated civilians of the Human Race, even if they were kin and kind. But how many would truly bother?

The Netherworld knew this well and used the Corpse Puppet Chaos to draw away the Zhenjiang military.

Then, by using the Asura Blood Formation to create a barrier, they sealed off Zhenjiang City\'s contact with the outside world, turning it into an isolated stronghold.

By creating this short time discrepancy, they picked chestnuts out of the fire within the territory of the Human Race.

And according to the original course of history, the Netherworld\'s actions were successful.

Even if one couldn\'t agree with the Netherworld\'s stance, or even detested it intensely, Lu Qingshan had to admit that in terms of both means and planning, the Netherworld was inscrutable and commendable.

And yet...

Lu Qingshan raised his head to look at the sky.

Though the Netherworld had acted more decisively than he had expected, launching their assault as soon as they sensed something was amiss, thus disrupting his plans.

But after arriving in this world, he had after all fluttered his wings a few times. It remained to be seen if this energy was enough to stir a tornado capable of shattering the Netherworld\'s schemes.

...

Outside Zhenjiang City.

Three Golden Core cultivators of the Lu Family gathered, suspended in midair, intensely observing the iron curtain-like barrier that enveloped the entire city.

"What did the other families say?" Lu Zhou asked, massaging his brow.

Lu Yuan replied with a look of indignation, "Aside from the Ke Family, who expressed willingness to send aid the moment they were informed, the rest are adopting a wait-and-see attitude. It seems they intend to stand by and watch."

"Only the Ke Family?" Lu Zhou\'s expression darkened.

Lu Bei paid no heed to the two family elders\' resentment, his hands quickly forming seal gestures.

He wanted to test the power of this barrier!

In Lu Bei\'s hands, a flowing luminescence moved, and a profound blue light gradually enveloped his body. Enjoy more content from empire

Behind him, a ferocious blue giant serpent was slowly taking shape.

The giant serpent finally formed, and with a sweeping glance, its figure slowly broke free from Lu Bei\'s back.

After breaking free, the giant serpent rapidly swelled, instantly growing to a thickness of ten feet and a length of over a hundred feet, turning into an enormous creature.

Wrapped in a cloud of blue mist, its body was covered with mysterious and intricate Taoist runes that shimmered with light.

Lu Yuan and Lu Zhou both felt their hearts skip a beat.

This was the Qing Ling True Monarch\'s signature Spell, the Qing Jiao technique, which they naturally recognized.

However, the power of this Qing Jiao technique had increased significantly compared to before.

They had no idea when Lu Bei had made such progress in his Cultivation.

Is this what a genius looks like? So terrifyingly powerful!

"Go!" Lu Bei commanded in a low shout.

The giant Jiao roared, its howl like thunder, and under Lu Bei\'s control, it dove toward the iron curtain in front of them, shaking the Spiritual Light flickering around it.

The vast body of the Jiao covered a wide expanse of the sky, whipping up a great gust of wind as it crashed against the barrier as if it were an eggshell.

Bang!

The tremendous sound echoed like thunder throughout Heaven and Earth, causing a painful ringing in the ears. The Qing Jiao\'s light shattered, turning into a dense rain of light.

Once the light dissipated, the expressions of the three of them grew even graver.

The iron curtain was emitting a faint halo of light, effortlessly blocking the astonishing strike from the Qing Jiao formed of Spiritual Power summoned by Lu Bei.

Lu Bei had anticipated this, so he wasn\'t overly disheartened, but he made a judgment, "The power of this Barrier has surpassed the realm of a Golden Core Cultivator.

If all the clans were willing to send reinforcements to join forces, there might be a slight chance of breaking through the Barrier. Relying solely on the power of the Lu Family and the Ke Family, it is beyond our capabilities."

Lu Yuan\'s voice was hoarse as he exclaimed, "How can these fools be so shortsighted? When the nest is overturned, no egg remains intact. If Zhenjiang City falls into great disaster, how can we, the clans that depend on Zhenjiang City, not decline?"

Lu Bei, on the other hand, was more philosophical, "As long as it doesn\'t happen to them personally, most people choose silence. It\'s just human nature."

"Lu Qingshan is still in the city. He is the foundation of our Lu Family\'s resurgence. I should not have agreed so readily to let the boy leave the Lu Family!" Lu Zhou sighed deeply.

"How about the reinforcements?" Lu Bei didn\'t pick up on Lu Zhou\'s comment, instead, he turned to ask.

Lu Yuan explained the current situation, "Although we sent a Spirit Message to the Zhenjiang forces at the first opportunity to report the current state of Zhenjiang City, the Corpse Puppet Chaos in the various Prefecture Cities has not yet been quelled, and the Zhenjiang forces cannot abandon these Prefecture Cities and rush back to Zhenjiang City immediately."

Lu Zhou fell silent upon hearing this.

The logic was simple.

The lives of the Xia Clan people in Zhenjiang City mattered, but did the ordinary people in the various Prefecture Cities not?

Since the Zhenjiang forces had already arrived at these Prefecture Cities, they could hardly be faulted for not abandoning the safety of the Human Race in those Prefecture Cities to rush back to aid Zhenjiang, could they?

This was the Netherworld\'s open strategem.

Once the bow was drawn, there was no turning back; as long as the Zhenjiang forces were in the Prefecture Cities, they had no excuse to return and support Zhenjiang City before the chaos was quelled.

"As for the cultivator reinforcements sent by the other Prefectural Cities, since the Teleportation Array leading to Zhenjiang City has been sealed, they were unable to teleport directly and had to rely on flight to hurriedly make their way here," Lu Yuan added.

After pausing for a moment, he continued, "However, there is some good news. True Monarch Yuanming seems to have anticipated this situation and sent out requests for support to the Prefectural Cities of Qing State quite early.

Unfortunately, it took too much time for the other Prefectural Cities to receive the Spirit Messages, make decisions, and dispatch cultivators, which resulted in them not arriving at Zhenjiang Prefecture before the Teleportation Array was sealed.

The early dispatch of the request for aid Spirit Messages did save us about half a day, though. The first batch of powerful cultivators is estimated to arrive at Zhenjiang City in about half a day."

"This Barrier is not only powerful but even prevents the penetration of Divine Sense. Right now, no one can know the exact situation inside the city, which is truly frustrating!"

Lu Yuan intensely despised the this Barrier forged by the Asura Blood Formation, yet he was helpless against it.

"But Zhenjiang City is such a prosperous place, with many cultivators. It shouldn\'t be so weak as to not withstand half a day, right?" Lu Zhou tentatively comforted.

"That\'s the logic." Lu Yuan nodded.
